During the second half, superstar point guard Ja Morant went to the locker room with an injury. Morant had 25 points, two rebounds, seven assists and one steal while shooting 8/11 from the field and 3/4 from the three-point range in his first 25 minutes of playing time.

The Grizzlies are hitting their stride, as they continue their ascent with a 155-126 demolition of the Raptors on Thursday night.

Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant has been the star of the show in Memphis as usual, but the 25-year-old All-Star has had a hard time staying on the court. Morant has already missed 12 games this season, and an early departure in Friday's matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans has left fans worried once again.

Jaren Jackson Jr. scored 33 points, Ja Morant scored 25 before leaving with what appeared to be a minor right shoulder injury, and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the slumping New Orleans Pelicans 132-124 on Friday night.

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant's absence from the lineup appears to be a short one after a lower back injury.

Memphis isn't fully healthy, but several impact players like Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane are available. The Grizzlies will be without Marcus Smart (right index finger), Jay Huff (ankle), Vince Williams Jr. (ankle) and GG Jackson.
